Spiritual Awakening: Pleasant Surprises Grow Spirituality!!!
It was pleasant surprise to see this recognition in my Facebook Feed today (4/19/2021). I immediately dropped to my knees and thanked GOD for giving me the power to use my talents for good. As I prayed and gave thanks to GOD I began to realize just how important gratitude is to the spiritual awakening process. After I prayed I made it a point to post a thank you comment for this recognition. As I have been going through the spiritual awakening process I have come to understand that there will be many surprises that come your way that will lead to personal, professional, and spiritual grow. Many times it is just a matter of tapping into your inner divinity and then releasing your GOD given talents onto the world. 2021 marks my 24th year as a volunteer with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and over the years I have been surprised by the generosity that has been shown in my efforts to provide hope, progress, and answers to those touched by cancer. I remember the night I decided to get involved in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I sat in a meeting of The Coral Springs Jaycees and they had a speaker from The American Cancer who spoke of a new event which was Relay For Life. I immediately signed up to be part of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Coral Springs as I had recently lost my grandfather to prostate cancer and was mad at the world and I found that Relay would turn my anger into purpose. Through out the years I have lost many to various types of cancer and they are my reason to relay so that one day no one has to hear the words you have cancer. In taking action and answering the call to be of service and value I have been able to come alive and make positive changes that have impacted my life and the lives of others. As I continue to share http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 with others I am always pleasantly surprised by how many make donations. I love seeing my fundraising thermometer rise as it fuels me to stay spiritually connected to GOD, Jesus, Source, and Spirit.
As I listened to this symphonic interlude titled Surprise I began to think back over all the years and all the great surprises that have occurred in my life such as the time I was meeting my family in Williamsburg, Virginia for Thanks Giving. Upon arrival at the hotel I was told to walk down the street to The Williamsburg Inn so I did to find out that my step-dad was able to secure rooms for us at this historic landmark. It was an amazing weekend that allowed me to grow spiritually and upon looking back on that moment I will always be grateful for that time spent and the memories that were created.
As you continue on your spiritual path and grow personally and professionally may you have many pleasant surprises!!!
